Indeed. But I think it's important to get a better handle on what's
desirable and what is not.
For me, anyway, if it's pre minifig era, it's not that interesting of a set.
(regardless of whether it has slopes or inverse slopes or what have you) The
advent of the minifig was when set design really blossomed.
So, to me, anyway, three out of 4 of the sets you list are uninteresting.
Too primitive to be considered classics by me, they are of historical
interest only, and will not be usable in my collection (which is minifig
scale) as is... they would only serve as parts sources. Perhaps good parts
sources, but zero play value as is. (I am a layout builder, when I get time)
That's not the only opinion out there of course, and I have collected a few
pre minifig sets mostly to satisfy my own desire for sets of historical
interest, but I suspect that pre minifig sets are not viable candidates from
a production volume standpoint.
That may not be YOUR opinion of course, but I suspect a survey would reveal
that you're in a small minority.
LEGO(r) being a business, that matters.
